I don't want Garcia playing I'd rather Ake made his debut alongside somebody with experience.

Just thinking of an 11 to start has eased my worries, we really are a CB short from having a fantastic squad of 22.

1-3 City

This game can't come soon enough. I don't know if I should be worried, optimistic or indifferent. I honestly don't know what to expect on Monday night.

Im with you in that really looking to see us join the races.

Crazy that some teams will have played 2 games by tomorrow and we haven't even kicked a ball in anger.

You posting in anger every day makes up for not kicking a ball though..

Sterling - Jesus - Bernardo
Foden - Fernandinho - De Bruyne
Cancelo - Aké - Garcia - Walker
Ederson​

Too early to introduce Ferran. Bernardo and Foden will help a lot with pressing. Fernandinho to provide better cover of the back four, Cancelo to continue leftback because he did so well.

We could also see Fernandinho at right-sided CB and Rodri as defensive mid for added physicality.

We should win with that lineup.

Think Bernado is injured.

KDB----------Bernardo/Foden

Torres - Jesus ------Sterling

Laporte is not match fit. Pep said it is to early fir him. Only one day training.

wish bernardo was fit, he would be on the team sheet.
Find the furthest point in the country away from Birmingham and put mendy on it, if he gets lonely send gundogen ! If mendy is on the pitch Monday night its 3 or 4 - 1 to wolves
I am struggling seeing a city win but hope I am wrong, wolves are the sort of team we don't play well against with their style. Let alone how quick their front lot go forward. If it was mid season and we had a good run then I would fancy a win. But start of the season, hardly trained, no LaPorte / aguero, its not good.
If we do win it will be one of those days when you say "so proud"

This

Something feels very off for me as well.

He's sick and tired of the same bollocks. He wants to get the game started and put last season behind him. Don't need to analyse any further than that.

sorry -yes you are right

replace laporte with Ake and I guess it has to be Mendy at left back then (gulp!)

 

[SidJames]

Sorry not feeling it.

Pep with a face like a slapped arse.

Kun out for at least another 2 months.

Not strengthening up front which we needed desperately.

Not strengthening at the back,again we needed this desperately.

Feels like we are going in to a season already resigned to it being Pep last season.

I think all last seasons problems will undermine this season,not converting enough chance,and defensive issues.

I think Ake will make a serious difference though.
